Red Robin Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 DJ has not dismissed a play-off spot just yet with seven games to go and just seven points between us and the play-offs it could just still happen. crazier things have happened in the past. Lets keep the good work going, and yes if others fail we can take a spot. Yes it is a lot to ask,but whilst it is possible,lets go for seven cup finals and hopefully see where it takes us. Well done DJ lets hope we can do it. exciting end to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eastend Fan Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I know it's a long shot but think it's entirely possible. We won 6 out of our 7 last games which is pretty damn good form if you ask me. That's 18 points from a possible 21, before that run started we were only just out of the relegation zone by a few points, now we find ourselves 18 points from relegation and 7 from playoffs. That's a lot of ground we have made up on the play off places so if this form carries on we could sneak in depending on what teams above us do (Mainly Reading), however there is no margin for error so 2 losses and thats us out of the race so certainly not getting my hopes up, but it's nice to know it's still mathmatically possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Reading are flying, Forest have a lot of quality and don't you think the likes of Millwall, Burnley and Watford all have hopes to storm on in, too? It would be fairytale stuff though an ambition is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsteral Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 WE ARE 7 POINTS OFF THE PLAYOFFS, WE HAVE 7 GAMES LEFT, AND THERE ARE 7 TEAMS BETWEEN US AND THE PLAYOFFS, SO WE,LL PROBABLY FINISH 7TH. HOWEVER, OF THOSE 7 TEAMS ABOVE US, WE STILL HAVE TO PLAY 4 OF THEM THAT MIGHT BE WORTH SOMETHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Regardless of whether or not we reach the play-offs, Potentially we stand a very good chance of our best finishing position in 3 seasons Interesting to see people's view point then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartockRed Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Much will depend on tomorrow nights game. If Preston can turn Reading over at there place then our chances change from ultra slim to slim. The likely out come is a Reading win and that's our lot for this season. If Preston can get a result though, I can see a tasty draw between them and Forest this weekend, which means we can pull another 2 points back on both.

dezgimed Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It would be stupid to just give up whilst it's reasonable close. Hope the lads go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilC Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I haven't by any means given up this season, but I don't think the play-offs will happen. I'm just trying to be realistic. I do think its a really important mentality DJ has taken on though, & important on the training field, in the dressing room & on the pitch. I always said I'd be happy if we could reach the Prem after 5 years. I only want to go up when we're ready. I'm also looking forward to next season. If Maynard's fit, DJ stays on, & perhaps if Caulker comes back and others perform well again, we *might* just be one to look out for next season... just a thought...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Funnily enough, I'm not sure he's done the right thing here. This may sound perverse, contrarian or negative but though it is good he is showing positivity, when it comes to this sort of thing I certainly think psychology plays a part. We were going nicely, very nicely actually- not mentioned, not tipped, slowly closing that gap- all under the radar. Fantastic. Now James, though perhaps he was doing the right thing, but he has now drawb attention to our rise up the League. Coming from behind, a long way behind reduces pressure in some regards- best to keep the pressure off for as long as possible I reckon and slowly but surely pressurise those above us without the spotlight on us. With more pressure on though, the greater the chances of us faltering IMO. Many may disagree but as I say coming from behind is an advantage as there is less pressure in psychological terms I think.

Port Said Red Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I have just listened to his Radio Bristol interview on the BBC site and I feel that if there are any fans out there that still don't think he is a real part of this club then they should be made to listen to it too. The way he talks along with the way he celebrates wins at the end of the game tell me something compltely different. Another season of DJ is a must in my opinion, he is becoming more and more influential all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
